Total and permanent disablement cover

What is total and permanent disablement (TPD) cover?

TPD cover provides you with a lump sum benefit to help you cover your financial commitments if you’re unable to work due to becoming totally and permanently disabled.

In most cases, TPD cover is provided automatically to members of Equip Super.* But if you don’t receive TPD cover automatically, you can still apply for cover. You can also change or cancel your existing cover at any time.

^{* If you’ve joined us through your employer, and your employer has nominated Equip Super as their default super fund.}

How to apply for, change or cancel your cover

• Online: Log in to Member Online

• Via mail: Alternatively, you can complete the Change your insurance cover form and Personal statement and send it to us.

Transferring your existing TPD cover into Equip Super

You may be able to transfer the TPD cover you have with another super fund or life insurer into an Equip MyFuture account.
